Grapholita prunivora
Pest description and crop damage This is a tortricid pest similar in habits to the oriental fruit moth. Larvae feed inside the fruit, often entering through the calyx end. The lesser appleworm is not currently a problem in commercial orchards, despite being distributed throughout the fruit producing regions of the PNW. It is a moth native to the northeastern US that was first discovered in the PNW in the 1940s.
